Rafflecopter Mini-Tip: Visually Appealing Facebook Promotions

Happy Friday :) Our last mini-tip discussed how you can best share your Rafflecopter giveaways with others.  This week, we’re going to tell you how to make the giveaways you run on Facebook with a Rafflecopter app *visually appealing*.

Today’s Tip: Making Your Facebook Giveaways Presentable

The Rafflecpter Facebook App allows you to easily embed a giveaway widget on a page tab on your Facebook page with one click. But did you know you have the ability to edit the HTML above and below the Rafflecopter widget to add extra flare to your promotion? Here’s how:

1) Once you install the widget on your Facebook page using the Rafflecopter Facebook app, click on the areas above and below the widget to edit the HTML:

2) When you’re done, click ‘Preview’ and view how it looks. If you’re happy, click ‘Save Changes’:

3) You’re done! View your new giveaway and watch the entries roll in :)

Our friends at I Heart Faces are running a giveaway on their Facebook page now using the steps shown above. It’s a great example of a presentable giveaway promotion:

Final Tip: Yeah, but how did you get it to look nice? I don’t know HTML… can you help? For the Rafflecopter giveaway in the first three images above, two things helped put that together.

First, I created the large FitDesk banner image in photoshop and then uploaded to my WP blog to host it and placed the image in the HTML. Second, while I’ll admit that I’m not the most HTML-savvy person, I took a majority of the HTML seen in the Facebook giveaway from the HTML section of the brand showcase blog post that we link to via WordPress. Copying and pasting the HTML via WordPress gave me that head start I needed to make this giveaway on Facebook extra presentable.

    Hi! After 2 hours on your blog I’m struggling to find any useful links for people who are HTML beginners? For example you mention above that you “took a majority of the HTML seen in the Facebook giveaway from the HTML section of the brand showcase blog post” – can you link to that blog post so we could see it? I’m all set up for a Facebook giveaway but there are no tips about what HTML to use above and below the Facebook widget? Thanks
